Wesley Chapel to get third I-75 interchange

Laura Kinsler of the Tampa Tribune reports that  Pasco County has received preliminary approval from the Federal Highway Administration to convert Overpass Road into a full access interchange with Interstate 75.

Plans include widening Overpass Road to six lanes and extending it 9 miles from where it currently dead ends at Palm Cove to US 301.  The interchange is expected to be open by 2020 and will be a primary route to the interstate for the future planned Pasadena Hills community of 22,000 acres located between Curley Road & US 301 and State Road 52 & 54.
